You must all know by now that that the Palais Royal is one of my favorite places in Paris. For me, it's a photographer's dream.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

I agree Virginia and I realize that I still haven't posted any picture of Le Palais Royal on my blog.
... and from your next return to Paris I guess we will see a lot more! Will the "colonnes de Buren" be visible not only through the coloured windows?
And I can see why, Virginia. My, my.
It's a royal night borning too.

Laurent, you must!!!
Peter, now that's another little job for you to sniff out the situation with the colonnes de Buren! You know they've been under wraps each time I've come. And weather permitting, the PR might be the perfect spot for bubbly!! :)
Thanks Valery for your visit and comment!
Shell,
I know you would love this place.
Happy Thanksgiving, dear Virginia, we are waiting you!
And mine! Though I've always been a Left Bank gal, my first choice for a Parisian pied-a-terre would have to be one of the apartments overlooking this beautiful garden (Colette's, perhaps? I wish!). Thanks for this one, Virginia --
I love Place Colette and the Jardin du Palais Royal.
Alexa, I'm a BOTH banks gal myself. I love it all.
Starman,
THe best place to find interesting people to photograph. I have more, can you believe it????
Alice,
Oh YES!!!!
"Louis" loves the Palais, but HATES those columns!
Posted from "Louis's" iPod, never mind the hooves...
Oh now Louis, what's not to like? I can hardly wait to get my camera on them when they're all spiffed up. Louis, do you think I'm getting more français as time goes on? Well Lord have mercy, won't that be something! I can't think of anything I'd like more, although I fear I'll never make it.
